Shoulder mobility and stability
We address mobility and stability directly at the shoulder joint.
PHYSICAL THERAPY
Shoulder Pain at PFPT.
The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body. Instability and overuse can be especially relevant for lifters and active people, so PFPT looks at both the shoulder joint and the way the upper body moves as a whole system.
PFPT / SHOULDER CAREThe shoulder blade and ribcage matter too
Our approach combines direct work on shoulder stability and mobility with attention to shoulder-blade and ribcage dynamics. The aim is to give the upper body the movement options it needs for efficient overhead activity and lifting.
Common conditions we treat
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy/tears
- Shoulder impingement
- Labrum injuries
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Biceps tendon irritation
How we help with shoulder pain
Shoulder-blade and ribcage dynamics
We also work on how the shoulder blade and ribcage move together, rather than treating the shoulder as an isolated joint.
The shoulder joint, shoulder blade, and ribcage should work together to support efficient overhead movement and lifting.
